Greenwich Concours 2023
2023 will mark my last year exhibiting at the Greenwich Concours as I begin winding down my traveling days. It’s been a ton of fun over the past 10 years. I’ve meet some wonderful people, made a great many new friends, got to spend time with old ones, and generally had the time of my life. But it’s never good to overstay one’s welcome and I’d like to spend more time with my grandkids before…
Greenwich Concours 2023 Exhibit Catalog
If you can’t make it to this year’s Greenwich Concours, you can at least browse through my exhibit catalog and see what I’ll be showing this year. As you might expect, things are heavy on the Shadow and Light side of things (Ferrari 312, Corvette Gand Sport, Porsche 917K, Porsche 356 Anniversary Edition), but I’m also bring canvas prints (BMW 2002 and Datsun 240Z), a couple of brushed aluminum pieces (C2 Corvette and Jaguar XKE),…
The Mighty Porsche 917K
The Once and Still Undisputed Champ. Arguably one of the most iconic race cars in the history of motorsport, the Porsche 917’s conception stemmed from an unexpected change to Commission Sportive Internationale in its sanctioning rules when it announced a new Group 4 sports car series that allowed engine displacements of up to 5.0 litres, but required at least 25 units be produced for homologation. Despite the FIA’s doubts, Porsche presented the FIA with 25…
Amelia In the Rearview Mirror
Even the Best of Plans… Show events always have some elements of unpredictability in them. Lots of variables—transportation, travel, set-up, tear-down—and, try as one might, it’s simply not possible, despite the best planning, to cover all of the bases completely. Case in point—this year’s Amelia Concours. After months of planning, loading and reloading the ABS containers to make sure they were evenly packed, going through my pre-event check list, curating the exhibit art, and generally…
AAR Revisited
A Story Worth Retelling This is a repost from a few years back that tells the story of how my Gurney Eagle print came. It also recounts the tour of the AAR facility in Costa Mesa, California that Doug from Garage Graphics and I took with Justin Gurney doing the tour honors. Since then, I’ve illustrated the Eagle several times as well as Dan’s 1967 LeMans winning Fort GT MKIV. Life-sized editions of both pieces…
The Amelia Concours 2023
After a two year hiatus (one year for Covid, a second for a bit of medical issue), I’m finally headed back to The Amelia concours and happy to be going south in early March with winter still likely to be hanging up her in the great white north. This year I’ll be exhibiting new art from my Shadow and Light collection along with a number of old favorites, some lenticular art I collaborated on with…
Lorenzo’s Last Ride
Lorenzo Bandini made his way into auto racing via motorcycles before moving on to cars in 1957 winning in a variety of classic events including in the prestigious Mille Miglia and Targa Florio before moving on to the Ferrari team for the 1962 and 1963 seasons. Lorenzo found success in Formula One, having his best season in 1964 with wins in Austria, Germany, and Italy to go along with podiums in a number of other…
Shadow and Light
When you collaborate with other artists, it’s hard to not be influenced by their work. Maybe it’s the approach, or some bit of technique that begins to find its way into your own art. In the case of the new Shadow and Light collection, I was directly influenced by my good friend, photographer and master of painting with light, Bill Pack. While not strictly a “car guy”, Bill has nonetheless taken the art of automotive…
NASM Nation of Speed Exhibit Opens!
Sports Car Art Goes to Washington D.C. The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum’s Nation of Speed exhibit opened October 14th in Washington, D.C. According to Jeremy Kinney, the exhibit’s curator, “The new gallery explores the deep-rooted connection between people and machines through the history they made together and is unlike any exhibition you’ve seen at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.” The Speed Shop interactive area of the new exhibit, features a nearly…
